Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even and thorough baking.
02 -
Roll out the unbaked pie crust if necessary and place it into a 9-inch pie plate. Gently press it into the bottom and sides, crimping or shaping the edges as desired.
03 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, heavy cream, melted butter, salt, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth and fully combined.
04 -
Carefully pour the honey mixture into the prepared pie crust, filling it until just below the edges to prevent spills.
05 -
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The filling should set with a slight wobble in the center, which will firm as it cools.
06 -
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to set.

Before serving, sprinkle a light pinch of flaky sea salt on top to enhance the flavor.
